The Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act applies to local government organizations including municipalities, police services boards, school boards, conservation authorities, boards of health and transit commissions. Municipalities are required to protect the privacy of an individual's personal information that exists in government records. It also gives individuals the right to request access to municipal government information, including most general records and records that contain their own personal information.

Most of the information accessible on the Township's website does not require you to identify yourself at all. You may access it anonymously. However, the Township of Douro-Dummer does collect personal information about you when you choose to provide it. We endeavour to collect only as much personal information as is absolutely necessary to assist you in conducting business with the Township.
